What is ACC in a Truck?

ACC stands for Adaptive Cruise Control. This advanced driver-assistance system automatically maintains a set speed and a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.

How ACC Works

ACC operates by gathering data from radar or camera sensors mounted on the vehicle. The system analyzes this data to determine the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead, then automatically adjusts speed and maintains a safe distance by:

• Accelerating: When there’s no vehicle ahead or the distance is sufficient, the system automatically accelerates to the pre-set speed.
• Decelerating: When a slower vehicle is detected ahead or the distance decreases, the system automatically slows down, even applying brakes to maintain a safe following distance.

• Automatically stop the vehicle: When the vehicle ahead comes to a complete stop, ACC automatically brings the vehicle to a safe stop, preventing collisions.
• Provide collision warnings: ACC alerts the driver when a potential frontal collision is detected.
